Globus allows users to share files and data with users at other institutions using a web browser or command line interface. Data is transferred between source and destination securely while maintaining high level performance and validates the data transfers between locations.

Once you have logged into the allocation from which you want to share, browse to the specific folder you’d like to share out to someone else.

Info

Important note about sharing:

  • You can only share directories, not individual files.

  • You should never share your entire top level /home or /data directory. Instead, when sharing data with a collaborator, you should create a subdirectory and share that.

  • You should share a directory only with a specific colleague or colleagues. Do not select “all users” when sharing.

  • Globus allows directory trees to be shared as read or read/write. This means any subdirectories within the tree inherit those same permissions. If the user has read/write access, they CAN delete files within that directory tree.

  • When you data transfer or project is complete and you no longer need to share data, you should remove delete the shared endpoint.


First verify the folder path and make sure that the last folder listed in that folder path is the one your want shared out. This last folder and all it’s contents and subfolders will be shared with the user you specify later. Example: In the screenshot below, we are sharing out our desktop folder within our personal home on Beartooth.
